Über mich
Architect with over 8 years of diverse academic and professional roles. I am well-experienced in all project phases, and have directly managed the execution of multiple high-end residential and commercial medium-scale projects in Egypt. I have also been a collaborator at the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale. My post-graduate research at the University of Greenwich is focused on ‘Urbanism and Spatial Behavior’, which is also demonstrated through my participation at the University of Stuttgart, ETH Zurich, and through my lecturing roles at MSA and AASTMT Universities.
